tats!

I lost the baby a bit ago.



I am severely paranoid so I'm constantly thinking people are judging me. Ask my husband it took me 4 months to let him hold my waist lol. If anything the thought of me being almost bare is bugging me more than the thought of the pain...

Oh I feel like an ass. I'm sorry

But I'm sure you'll be fine with the ribs. Just be prepared to hold still. :/ my tattoo artist had this lady who got her first on her ribs (bigger piece) and could NOT sit still. :/

Maybe you could do the calf, thigh, or upper back. Thigh would look super cute and would show with shorts

Maybe upper back or on a shoulder blade? I have one there too and it's not bad at all and a nice big space to work with: plus easily covered up and to have it done you can just wear a tank or a tube top.

I agree, if your planning on adding more petals falling in the future then your going to need space under it. If it were me I would put something like that on my shoulder blade, perfect amount of room.
I got my first tattoo on my shoulder blade and it wasnt bad at all. a good beginner spot.

I have sat down for prolly 35+ tattoos, and let me tell you something. Tattoos hurt no matter where you get them, dont let somebody try and convince you differant. The way i see it is if i can just make it through the slight bit of pain, i am going to have an awesome looking piece that i really like and enjoy. Yes the ribs do hurt, but so does your neck, arm, leg, back, shoulder and so on. Depending on how big you want that tat, i think you will be just fine. Get it where you want to get it and deal with the pain. It will be over in a short time.

Couldn't resist

I have a tatoo from the back of my neck across the back of my shoulder and over the top down to about 3 inches above my elbow. Most people I meet have absolutely no idea I have any tatoos at all until we go swimming or something. A collared shirt covers the bit that extends onto my neck.

For a girl, ribs are hot and I have a thing for chicks with colorful half sleeves of flowers and fairies, but also dragons and kraken and such. Please don't get a tatoo on your calf, no offense to anyone. Some thigh tatoos work, but not if it's your first tatoo. They work on people who are more covered on the upper body.

As for the pain, it's not bad. Don't be a wus. Pain is temporary and that tatoo is going to be there for the rest of your life. I'd hope it was worth the pain...

Ribs hurt and the color red can fade pretty bad.

Shoulder blade could be a good spot.

wont hurt too much! worst spot is the foot!

Supposedly there are a tonne of tattooists who will let you have it for free if you can get the entire Lords Prayer tattooed on the bottom of your foot, which I can imagine is either very painful or incredibly ticklish From anyone I've spoken to wrists, elbows, ribs, feet and collarbone are supposed to be bad...But my wrist didnt hurt at all and my tolerance for pain is very bad. Also my rose on my hip touches the bottom of my ribcage and that wasn't even a twinge.

Surely this is a matter of opinion? I can tell you straight up neither of my tattoos hurt...Everybody has a different pain threshold. Mines odd...I have very low tolerance for pain usually but tattoos and piercings - no problem.

So, your saying your tattoos didn't hurt at all? No burning or stinging and not sore the next day or two? ALL tattoos hurt its just to what extent. I've gotten my ribs, chest, elbow, and armpit done and of those the only place I wouldn't get another is my armpit. I also have my arms done and the pain level there is low. But get your tattoo where you want it, you'll be happier in the long run and the pain doesn't last long.
